Selection Matrix Results

The preferences and concerns were entered into an algorithm in a selection matrix that assigns them a score according to their importance. Because most decision factors are negative or unfavorable, the option receiving the least negative score is determined to be the most publicly favorable. The results of the selection matrix are very close. The final score for all three options are within a single percentage point difference from each other.

Option A: -36,341

Option B: -35,739

Option B-2: -35,528
